SOUTH BUXTON – It's going to be noisy in the Midas Auto Service bays this week.

And that’s before they turn on the air guns and fire up any engines.

Merlin’s Steve Shaw and Chatham’s Eric Vanderiviere will have a lot to talk about after the two mechanics won feature races Saturday at South Buxton Raceway.

“The Midas touch,” Shaw said with a grin after his third straight and fifth Windride Transportation Sport Stocks win in just eight features in his abbreviated season.

Vanderiviere won his first feature since moving up to the Schinkels Gourmet Meats UMP Modifieds class last season. His last feature win came in the 2010 Sport Stocks season championship race.

“That’s great to see him finally win one … and for both of us to win on the same night,” Shaw said.

But how difficult will it be for Shaw and the rest of the staff to work with Vanderiviere?

“It won’t be any different … he talks enough when he doesn’t win,” Shaw said.

Vanderiviere said he’s looking forward to talking about his own victory, instead of bragging about his younger brother Eren, the Sport Stocks points leader with six feature wins this season.

“I always get on him (Shaw) when Eren beats him. He’s (Shaw) lucky I’m not still in the Sport Stocks because I’d be kicking his butt every week,” Vanderiviere said with a laugh.

Louisville’s Jim Fletcher got the jump on the initial green and led the first 11 laps while Vanderiviere was busy holding on to second under pressure from Leamington’s Joel Dick.

After a caution on lap 12, Vanderiviere and Dick punted Fletcher back to third on the restart, which was how the trio ran for the final eight laps.

“I seen Joel in (turns) three and four, but never saw him in one and two, so I knew I could beat him coming out of four to the line, if I had to on the last lap,” Vanderiviere said.

Shaw had resigned himself to no better than a second-place finish. Grande Pointe’s Tyler Lozon was in cruise control until he broke a J-bar with five laps to go.

“The 66 (Lozon) was running really good, and whatever he broke, I ran over on the backstretch and had to keep my eyes on the gauges to make sure I had oil pressure,” Shaw said.

Two laps after Lozon’s misfortune, Shaw passed Essex's Doris Lajeunesse for the lead between turns three and four.

“He had a good line going and I couldn’t get off the corner in the right grove to get by him,” Shaw said of his 17-lap pursuit of Lajeunesse. “A lapped car got in his way and that helped me out. I had a good run coming off two and knew my only chance was to dive under him in three.”

Chatham’s Gregg Haskell won his third feature in the Glencoe Auto Recyclers UMP Late Models, holding off Wallaceburg’s Mike Lewis in an exciting 20-lap battle which saw the two swap the lead seven times in the first 11 laps.

“That was most fun I’ve ever had in a race car,” said Haskell, who has led the points standings since late May. “I went down there (to Lewis’s hauler) and told him I’d be happy to finish second to race like that every week.”

Blenheim’s Shawn Jones won the family bragging rights and the guitar trophy on Country 92.9 Night at the Races. He passed his brother, Trevor, midway through the Tirecraft Comp 4 feature for his eighth win of the season.

Dustin Daggett of Portland, Mich., won the 25-lap ‘A’ Main in the final race of the Northern Summer Nationals Sprint Series.

Justin Barger of Montrose, N.Y., clinched the overall series championship with his third-place finish.

On Friday, Daggett held off Barger to win round three of the NSS series at Ohsweken Speedway in a reversal of their finish June 23 at South Buxton.

Shane Stewart, a four-time Knoxville Nationals 360 champion from Bixby, Okla., finished second in his South Buxton debut.

Tilbury’s Kyle Patrick was 14th, one night after a fifth-place finish at Ohsweken.

Ridgetown’s Adam West was 22nd after an accident with Jim Lingar of South Bend, Indiana.

Chatham’s Eric Jamieson finished eighth in the ‘B’ Main and did not make the field for the ‘A’ Main.

Twenty-eight sprint cars made the trip to South Buxton for the final round of the Northern Summer Nationals.
